Simplicity Series: McKenzie Fussell

November 02, 2015

Hi ya'll! I’m McKenzie - the Community Development Director here at Emily Ley! I'm the gal who gets to chat with each of you via email, Facebook, and my favorite... Instagram! (#DREAMJOB) I've been a member of the Emily Ley team for over a year now and it's been an incredible adventure. In December I'll be a proud graduate of Florida Southern College with a degree in Interpersonal & Organizational Communication (Go Mocs)! When I'm not working you can find me exploring Tampa with my sweet husband, blogging at Winsome & Gold, or planning our big move back to our hometown of Fernandina Beach!

What’s your favorite beauty secret?Drink lots of water! It works wonders for your hair and skin! Also, always use primer. I love this one - super affordable, really light, and available at Target! (I love any opportunity to use my RedCard!)

Tell us your favorite Instagram account to follow and why.Oh goodness! I spend SO much time on Instagram for work and pleasure so I've come to love quite a few IG accounts. My favorites are: @AspiringKennedy (she's an American expat in London with two cute kiddos so I live vicariously through her European adventures) , @FashionableHostess (for pretty home decor and entertaining inspiration), @SouthernWeddings (because... they get me!) and @MackenzieHoran & @PencilShavings for a splash of color!

What tradition or routine is important to you?My morning routine. While it's always changing, I love enjoying a cup of coffee (in a cute mug of course!), reading my Bible or a good devotional, and then filling out my SP with a plan for the day!

What’s in your purse?A pair of shades, my Simplified Planner, my iPhone, all of my husbands things, a few shades of lipstick, a notebook (in case I find blog inspiration or need to take meeting notes on the go), honest company healing balm (works for everything), and usually a bunch of random receipts and gum wrappers (if we're being honest here)!
